Make Racism a Thing of the Past

I have been invited to a hustings on Thursday. The BNP have also been invited. I refuse to share a platform with racist fanatics, it is not democracy to allow them to stand, whatever the Conservatives might tell you. Look at the BNP website and tell me it isn’t an incite to hatred. We do not want a world where the colour of your skin or your accent can put you in fear, all that belongs to the past.
